Replication materials for
Daina Chiba, Jesse C. Johnson, and Brett Ashley Leeds. 2015. Careful Commitments: Democratic States and Alliance Design. Journal of Politics, vol.XX (X), pp. XX--XX.

The main analyses are conducted using STATA (ver. 12), and the figures presented in the manuscript and the online appendix are created using R (ver. 3.1.2). This replication archive contains two script files:

1_CJL_estimation.do (STATA do file) performs all the empirical analyses reported in the manuscript and the online appendix. Running this file requires the estout ado file and the data files (CJL_data_zero10.dta and CJL_data_zero5.dta). Running this file will produce a text format log-file (output_logfile_main.log) as well as several estimation results (named “output_*.txt”).

2_CJL_figures.r (R script file) generates all the figures of descriptive statistics and substantive effects reported in the manuscript and the online appendix. All the four figures will be stored in the current directory.
